HURRICANE IRMA SLAMS INTO PRESIDENT TRUMP’S $17-MILLION CARIBBEAN VACATION HOME

This isn’t the first time a resort associated with the POTUS has sought foreign aid to staff his properties. During “Made in America” week at in July, Trump came under fire for seeking permission to hire 70 temporary foreign workers to staff Mar-a-Lago. This announcement came days after the Department of Homeland Security announced that would issue up to 15,000 new H-2B visas for temporary seasonal workers this year.

TRUMP WINERY IN VIRGINIA SEEKS MORE FOREIGN WORKERS

Though POTUS has long championed job creation for Americans both through his campaign and time in office, he defends his justification to hire foreign aid at the “Winter White House.”

“Getting help in Palm Beach during the season is almost impossible,” he said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” in September 2015.

The H-2B visa allows employers to bring foreign nationals to the U.S. to fill nonagricultural temporary jobs. Nevertheless, American workers are to be given hiring preference. Companies seeking these visas are also required by law to show that they already tried, but failed, to find Americans for the job.

From hotels to golf courses and a luxury real estate portfolio both foreign and domestic, Forbes estimates that $2.95 billion of POTUS’ $3.5 billion net worth is driven by his property and entrepreneurial empire.
